7.1 Changing the sawblade
The sawblade has to meet the technical specification.
Choose a suitable sawblade, according to the cutting
operation and according to the material to be cut.
For high rip cuts:
- use a wide sawblade (e.g. 15mm), coarse teethed.
For narrow curved cuts:
- use a narrow sawblade (e.g. 6mm).
Check sawblade for flaws (cracks, broken teeth, bending)
before installation. Do not use faulty sawblades.
The sawblade teeth must point in cutting direction (down)
Always wear suitable gloves when handling sawblades.
The sawblades may only be changed when the mains plug
is pulled!
